Please don’t add to your anxiety by believing you must do the impossible. None of us are going to turn this ship around in time to keep it from sinking. Give yourself permission to mourn, permission to let go of impossible tasks, and permission to just be, to be one of Earth’s beloved treasures. Let that be enough for a start.
We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.We shape clay into a pot, but is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable.We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
